Hello, Thanks, that was a kick in the right direction. However, it appears that 'cvs' invoked from Ant (version 1.5) and 'cvs' invoked from the command line behave differently.
This works from the command line: prompt> cvs -n tag -F -R my-tag Foo This does not work from Ant: <cvs cvsRoot=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs/repository" command="tag -F -R my-tag Foo" failonerror="true" noexec="true"> </cvs> Note: -n option prevents cvs from actually making changes in repository -r option apparently doesn't work for tagging (cvs tag -r my-tag Foo). If I try that command from the command line I get: cvs [server aborted]: no such tag my-tag Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to do this tagging from Ant rather than the shell script...
